Adult Day Services

Redwood Area Hospital’s Adult Day Services is a licensed day program that provides medical, social, physical, intellectual, and recreational activities for older or disabled adults who need extra support to remain independent. Adult Day Services is located in the new Redwood Area Hospital Health Pavilion on East Bridge Street in Redwood Falls. The program also provides periods of much needed rest for caregivers, resulting in improved mental and physical well-being.

Our goal is to meet the needs of each participant by offering a variety of medical, recreational and social activities from music and crafts to games and light exercise.

Adults in the program benefit from improved health and nutrition through “thinking” games and activities to stimulate mental health; mild daily exercise to improve strength, mobility and dexterity, which can help prevent increased disability from inactivity; and nutritional lunches and snacks that encourage healthy eating habits.
